Real Estate

Real estate sector is a key sector and a potential driver of future economic growth in Rwanda. This is due to the high demand for residential and commercial buildings and in 2012 the sector growth was 9 per cent. Growth in the sector has been driven by population growth of 2.8 percent per annum, an emerging and growing middle class, increased Diaspora investment in Rwandan property markets and government investment in infrastructure expansion and modernization of urban and rural infrastructure
